Silence before the storm,
I reach the house hidden by the night
A light I saw I knocked all quietly,
I entered; a woman sat by the spinning wheel
"What brings you here my child?", she asked,
"Don't you know how a lady keeps her secrets well?"
It's my life I am running from,
It's my fate I am hiding from, oh would the goddess speak to me?
Her ways I don't understand,
The mysteries that I must know, oh would the mother see through me?
"Why don't you rest my child", she said,
"I will seek her advice, I will wake you when it's time"
All night by the spinning wheel,
She sang an ancient tune and in the morn' her work was done
In the distance I heard a call,
I awoke and I held the spindle in my hand
My other hand it held new life,
The goddess had been by my side and her blessing was mine
I reach the house hidden by the night
A light I saw I knocked all quietly,
I entered; a woman sat by the spinning wheel
"What brings you here my child?", she asked,
"Don't you know how a lady keeps her secrets well?"
It's my life I am running from,
It's my fate I am hiding from, oh would the goddess speak to me?
Her ways I don't understand,
The mysteries that I must know, oh would the mother see through me?
"Why don't you rest my child", she said,
"I will seek her advice, I will wake you when it's time"
All night by the spinning wheel,
She sang an ancient tune and in the morn' her work was done
In the distance I heard a call,
I awoke and I held the spindle in my hand
My other hand it held new life,
The goddess had been by my side and her blessing was mine
